What is the equation of a line that is perpendicular to the line that goes through the points (0, -3) and (-3, 12)?
-----------
Find the slope of the line thru the points, call it m.
----
The slope of lines perpendicular is -1/m.
==============
There is no "a line"
There are an infinite # of lines.
